just curious what your weight is, what economy your getting and what you would like to be getting. My 07FG gets between 17 and 20L/100K at 90Kph fully loaded with 30' van in tow. thats pretty reasonable i wouldve thought.
mind you as soon as i creep past 90 then things change
my 5 stud 16" ally rims are rated to max 1800kg. (im downgraded GVM) pretty sure 17" and 19" steel rims in 5 stud would blitz that but then again im not paying $1000 per tyre
Those 16" alloy rims from Aus are probably Alans. Theyre good for 1800kg which i think is about 3900 lb ish. I run 315s (35") 127q on mine. Upside tyre choice is plentiful and you dont have to donate a kidneytobuy a set
must be something in the water, after some time ive finally come out of my self imposed social media black hole. that is to say im back on the portal. stalkbook and the rest are still not to my liking. so when do we expect to see the full suite of pictures and mods.
if your still running the stock rims ill bet its a dodgy rim
had the same issue on mine, rotated through to find which one then used it as the spare
then replaced them for signles
Ben you can go 2 1/2" and if you have to put a muffler o at all go for a small free flow
theres a throaty increase in noise and i think it runs a bit better
that OEM muffler is a brick wall
Alan made his chassis straight and put spacer blocks under the rear end to compensate for the trailing arm set up he put on the front end
spacer blocks are okay by design so long as you dont load them up with torque
they have a habit of inverting the leaf if theyre loaded up to much
Owen its got nothing to do with long range driving
its the pleasure of seeing smoke billowing from the back of the head of the clown that just pulled in front of you and jumped on his brakes
the green diffusers actually dull down the intensity of the light to a nice glow that goes for miles
Ben. LED seems to be the way to go nowadays
me i like a nice big set of 240 liteforce.
sure it throws out some light, but they also look great and lets face it aesthetics if half of the equation
ive also got a small set of LED work lights i use as day running lights (amazing how many idiot car...
switches
there a narva product its a push pull switch with led illumination
i run led work lights on each mirror to light up the side of the truck and one on the back to light up the boat for those early morning and late evening sorties
because i originally planned on 65mm gauges all round but...
all finished and working
the fuel gauge was a problem to find with the right resistance spread but VDO managed to find one
next project
remodel the centre console
